Martin rolls to win at Mylan Classic

Ben Martin carded his third straight 4-under 67 on Sunday to roll to a 5-stroke victory at the Mylan Classic.

Martin earned his second win of the season at 17-under-par 267.

"It was a great day out there," said Martin. "To cap it off today with another
67, three in a row, it was just an awesome day. I played really well. I had a
few hiccups, but other than that it was a lot of fun."

Kelly Kraft fired a 7-under 64 during his final round at Southpointe Golf Club
to finish in second place at 12-under 272.

Martin entered the final round with a 4-stroke lead, and quickly ran his
advantage to seven with birdies at the second, third and fifth holes, moving
him to 16-under.

Elder was his nearest competitor at the time at minus-9 as he opened his final
round with gains at the second and fifth.

Martin's cushion, however, began to shrink when he tripped to consecutive
bogeys at the sixth and seventh.

Elder then birdied the eighth to move within four of Martin at 10-under, and
he was joined there by Kraft, who raced up the leaderboard with birdies at
Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 around bogeys at the sixth and eighth.

Kraft stayed hot with back-to-back birdies at the 14th and 15th to pull within
two strokes of Martin at 12-under, but a bogey at the 16th dropped him three
back.

Elder, meanwhile, bogeyed the 12th before slipping to a double-bogey 7 at the
13th to fall seven strokes off the pace.

Despite all the jostling below him, Martin held steady atop the leaderboard by
following his bogey at the seventh with seven straight pars.

At the short par-4 15th, Martin hit his drive to the right of the green and
holed out his chip for an eagle to move to 16-under and open up a 5-shot lead
with three holes to play.

"That was huge," Martin said about his eagle. "I chipped in on Sunday last
week at 15 for eagle, so I had some good memories going there. I didn't look
at the leaderboards, I didn't know where I stood, but that definitely gave me
a lot of momentum with three holes to go."

Martin followed with a bogey at the 16th to cut his advantage to just three
shots as Kraft closed with a birdie at the last to head into the clubhouse at
12-under, but Martin bounced back with a birdie at the 17th after hitting his
second shot to within five feet of the pin to again reach 16-under.

Martin then closed with about a 10-foot birdie effort at the 18th to seal the
win.
